Request for Jump Utility Availability on X86

Post by jeetu.singh » Thu Sep 02, 2021 10:23 am

Hello All,

It's just open request if anyone has any possibilities to provide jump utility for X86 enviroment. We have jump utility widely used in our environment and needs it to be test.

Any input/suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Is this the Jump utility that you are talking about?

Yes Mark. you are right.
But latest version is NOT compatible with OpenVMS 9.1 ( x86_64 ) Architecture.
As currently We have Jump utility closely integrated in our support Environment with application, so thought of getting Jump utility for X86_64 Architecture available so it can be testing in our x86_64 newly deployed server.

I have downloaded the kit and (cross-)built it for x86 with just a few tweaks.

Code: Select all

$ diff jump.pas; ;1
************
File SYS$DISK:[x86.build.jump]jump.pas;2
  201   Architecture_Type = (Vax,Alpha,Integrity,x86) ; { Past, present ... and future!}

File SYS$DISK:[x86.build.jump]jump.pas;2
  987        (Vms_Arch <> 'IA64') AND
  988        (Vms_Arch <> 'X86_64') THEN
  989          $EXIT (Jump__Unsupported) ;      { Should never be the case! }

Additionally, you have to tweak some system logicals:

Code: Select all

$ define/job SYS$LIBRARY X86_XTOOLS$ROOT:[SYSLIB] ! ,SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB]
$ define/job SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES X86_XTOOLS$ROOT:[SYS$LDR]
With that, it builds using

Code: Select all

$ @build_jump C
, and the created executable works on V9.1-A. So: confirmed once more: VMS is VMS is VMS. ;)

HTH,
Martin

Thank you Martin for sharing it.
I have VM running with 9.2E version now. I believe, instructions you have shared is from XTOOLS setup.
Request you to provide me compiled image of Jump for x86.

Thank you in advance. I have sent private message of this forum as well. Please respond.

Hi!

You can find the executable for VMS x86 E9.2 at http://de.openvms.org/software-download/jump.exe_x86.
Get the other required parts from the source kit.

HTH,
Martin

With kind assistance from Martin Vorländer (martinv), I am able to provide a new release of my VMS JUMP utility, JUMP 7.0, available for immediate download. It now supports all four OpenVMS architectures. The kit is a zip file containing the source files and ready-to-run EXE files.

Thanks,
